C3

C3 is the world's first automated system in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), with the aim of unlocking climate impact at scale by building infrastructure that more closely connects demand and supply-side participants, creates trust, and builds transparency in the market.

To achieve this, C3 leverages blockchain technology to deliver infrastructure that maximizes transparency, accessibility, and velocity of environmental commodities. C3 is an automated suite of products that bridges the Voluntary Carbon Market with the blockchain and decentralized finance. This approach enables high-integrity credits traded within the market to be exposed to greater levels of access, transparency, and liquidity, benefiting the creators and consumers of the credits themselves.

C3 is a permissionless, automated carbon bridge built on the Polygon blockchain. It is an application that integrates some of the most innovative DeFi mechanics with the on-chain carbon market. One of C3's core pieces of infrastructure is its automated carbon bridging technology, which allows a carbon credit to be bridged onto the blockchain by collecting its key metadata and creating a one-for-one copy on the blockchain as a "tokenized carbon credit." This process starts by using the carbon bridge, which helps achieve C3's objective to maximize the bandwidth between the legacy carbon markets and the blockchain-enabled carbon markets.

Curve has played a role in establishing liquidity and volume within DeFi and introduced more volatile pooled assets. It is an automated market maker (AMM) that functions as a platform for liquidity providers to accrue rewards. Curve has inspired C3 in terms of incentives and decentralized protocol governance.

C3 aims to be a decentralized bridge between legacy carbon markets and the on-chain DeFi ecosystem by utilizing blockchain tools to create a more transparent market. Carbon Pools are one of the key innovations disrupting the VCM and will position Web3 as the place to trade carbon. C3's pools are Core Carbon Reference Contracts, where players can trade, acquire, and retire tokenized carbon tonnes to fulfill their climate needs. Each pool token is an ERC-20 backed by a unique (non-fungible) token representing individual or batches of carbon credits.

C3 supports carbon credits from the leading ICROA-endorsed carbon standards, including Gold Standard, Verra, American Carbon Registry, Climate Action Reserve, and PlanVivo. The C3 token is the native governance token, used for direct participation in governance decisions, voting on staking gauges, enabling fee accrual from protocol revenues, and distributed to bridgers, stakers, and liquidity providers.
